Human Anatomy and Physiology I

Catalog description

Three lecture. Three lab. The study of the structure and function of the human body. Topics include cells, tissues, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, and the nervous system. Students will be able to: apply proper anatomical terminology in locating and describing body structures, movements, and functions in the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems (1 - 8); describe the hierarchy of body organization and the general functions of all organ systems (1); identify or describe the structure and function of the major tissue types (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8); identify or describe the histology, detailed gross anatomy, physiology, regulation, homeostatic imbalances, and basic repair mechanisms of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems (3 - 8); describe homeostasis and its application using detailed examples in the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems (1, 3 - 8); describe the relationships between the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems (4 - 8); integrate and apply knowledge across multiple body systems to explain complex physiological processes (1 - 7); demonstrate knowledge of laboratory safety and procedures (8); perform laboratory activities using appropriate laboratory equipment, specimens, materials, supplies, software, and/or simulations relevant to the course (8).
